The BERG-HEADING: "helpful wave of national idignation" in the Wash Post

[CaptainMidnight]

Right on schedule!

In keeping with the PNAC/Zbigniew/Northwoods plan...

Check out these Letters to the Editor at the Washington Post. This sampling even includes a letter written by an "Arab-American" AND American Military veteran. Even THESE letters read like those FAKE SOLDIERS LETTERS-TO-THE-EDITOR that the Bushies were CAUGHT fabricating, red-handed, during the initial Iraqi Invasion.

I mean, these 3 were the only ones I saw on that particular webpage. IT's certainly a nice "sampling," isn't it? It's like a friggin' Bennetton ad of national indignation!

It'd be interesting to see if these people even EXIST!

" The treatment of the captives at the Abu Ghraib prison pales in comparison to the public execution of Nick Berg . Being humiliated without being identified, as in the case of the hooded prisoner, does not compare with being publicly beheaded so your family and the world can see. It's outrageous that the president apologized to the families of the captive Iraqis for their treatment.

If the prisoners' treatment resulted in, or could result in, intelligence that could lead to saving American lives, then it is justified in my opinion. We as Americans may play at a higher level of morality, but nevertheless, let's not sacrifice our men and women just because we don't want to humiliate a few prisoners. After all, it could be worse for them. "

JOSEPH J. BARBANO

"I am an Arab American and a veteran of the U.S. Army. I could not find the words to condemn the coldblooded murder of Nick Berg. These are the acts of misfits and animals and are far from what Islam stands for. Not only the United States but also the world, and in particular the Muslim world, must declare a relentless war on these terrorists.

Humanity has no place for the likes of al Qaeda and men such as Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab Zarqawi. They have declared war against humanity, and humanity must declare war on them.

My condolences go to the parents and family of Mr. Berg. We are all saddened by his murder."

SAMI JAMIL JADALLAH

"The beheading of Nick Berg should put our treatment of Arab prisoners into perspective. The barbarity of the act far exceeds any excesses by the West.

Our pundits and self-flagellators should attend to this fresh evidence of the degraded and decivilizing quality of Islamic extremism. "

1. The angry drone of talk radio tells them what to think

Sometimes I wonder if most of those "pure Americans" would have a thought in there head without Rush and his kind.

2. So a horrid crime carried out by four or five thugs ...

justifies an EARLIER collection of crimes that appear to have been systematically encouraged by administration policy?

Berg's death gave Bush an opportunity to stop saying sorry.

"The actions of the terrorists who executed this man remind us of the nature of the few people who want to stop the advance of freedom in Iraq," Bush said at the White House. "Their intention is to shake our will. Their intention is to shake our confidence. Yet, by their actions, they remind us of how desperately parts of the world need free societies and peaceful societies. And we will complete our mission."
